I think this is a better aircraft livery I made, I hope you like it

Civil Aviation of China did not purchase the L-1011 mainly because the model lacked advantages in market competition, high operation and maintenance costs, and the manufacturer's after-sales support capabilities were insufficient. The details are as follows:

• Market Competitive Disadvantage: The L-1011 competes with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 in the same market, and the DC-10 entered operation earlier and occupied market share first. In addition, the A300 wide-body aircraft of Airbus Europe shows the advantage of low operating costs, the Boeing 747 is favored with its high passenger capacity, and the L-1011 is squeezed at both ends, and the market space is narrow, and China's civil aviation will naturally be affected when choosing.
• High Operating and Maintenance Costs: Some systems of the L-1011 are more complex than the DC-10, which can lead to higher maintenance costs. At the same time, its smaller fleet size may also increase maintenance and component costs, making it unattractive for cost-effective Chinese civil aviation.
• Inexperienced manufacturer: Lockheed is an established arms dealer with relatively limited experience in the field of civil airliner manufacturing. Airlines not only value aircraft performance, but also attach importance to maintenance logistics and after-sales support services, in this regard Lockheed is far inferior to Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, who are experienced in the field of civil passenger aircraft, and China Civil Aviation will also take this factor into account when choosing passenger aircraft.
• Project schedule delay: The RB211 engine used in the L-1011 was exclusively supplied by the British Rolls-Royce Company, but the Rolls-Royce Company suffered a bankruptcy crisis during the development process, resulting in a serious delay in the research and development progress of the RB211 engine, and the L-1011 project was also forced to be delayed for several years, missing the best listing window, which put it at a disadvantage in market competition and also affected the procurement decisions of Civil Aviation of China.
• Poor safety image: There were a number of major accidents during the service of the L-1011, such as the 1980 Saudi Arabian Airlines L-1011 passenger plane fire and the death of all personnel due to crew error, which left an unsafe impression on the L-1011, and China's civil aviation will also have concerns about its safety performance when procuring.
